Squads
South Africa's AB de Villiers was originally named as the captain for the ODI series. However, he was unavailable for the first match due to getting a one-match ban for bowling a slow over-rate in the 2015 Cricket World Cup semi-final against New Zealand.[1] South Africa's management decided to release him for the other two matches, so he can spend time with his family, with Hashim Amla taking over as captain.[1]
